Basic Facility Information Table 1. Facility Information Facility Information Applicant/Facility Name: Two Rivers Utilities/Eagle Road Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) Applicant Address: PO Box 1748, Gastonia, NC 28053 Facility Address: 661 Eagle Road, Belmont NC 28012 Permitted Discharge Flow: 4.0 million gallons per day (MGD) Facility Type/Waste: Major Municipal/ Domestic Facility Class: Class IV Biological - 15A NCAC 08G .0302 Treatment Units: Influent mechanical bar screen, emergency storage basin, one aeration basin, two secondary clarifiers, chlorine contact chamber, dechlorination/sodium bisulfite, post aeration, aerobic digester, and two standby generators. Pretreatment Program (Y/N/Inactive) Inactive County: Gaston Region: Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) Permitting Action: This Facility is owned by the City of Gastonia and operated and maintained by Two Rivers Utilities (TRU). TRU applied for the NPDES permit renewal for Eagle Road WWTP in August 2019. The WWTP has a design capacity of 4.0 MGD and is currently authorized to discharge 4.0 MGD into South Fork Catawba River, classified as WS-V. The class denotes use as water supply. The Eagle Road WWTP (Facility) serves about 6,700 customers within the Towns of Cramerton, Kings Grant, and Belmont. The pretreatment program is inactive since 2006. The Facility provided June 2020 IWS for the entire area covered by the City of Gastonia's three WWTPs. One non -significant industrial user (NSIU) in the City of Belmont (Syncot Fibers and Plastics — SIC Code 2299) discharges into Eagle Road WWTP. Syncot Fibers and Plastics is regulated through the City of Belmont's pretreatment program. In 2017, TRU's staff expressed concerns about unusual plastic material in the biosolids in the digesters and the lagoons. TRU solved this issue in a process that took from December 2017 to April 2020. The process included Page 1 of 19 assessing the impacted residuals on Gastonia's permitted land; installing temporary filtering systems to capture plastics and glass fibers to prevent plastic particles from escaping in the effluent and installing pretreatment for glass fibers at the industry that caused the issue at Eagle Road WWTP, Syncot Plastics. The resulting glass fiber contaminated biosolids from the digesters, and biosolids at both Eagle Road WWTP and Long Creek WWTP were pressed and landfilled. May 8, 2018, TRU's letter requested the addition of supplemental nutrient allocation, 144 lbs/day of TN and 7.6 lbs/day of TP, purchased from NC0005274 (Lowell Investments) to Eagle Road WWTP's permit. August 1, 2019, TRU's cover letter for renewal application requested that the rescinded NPDES permit NC0004812's allocation for 50 lb/day of TN and 8.3 lb/day of PT be added to Eagle Road WWTP's permit, reduce monitoring frequency for BOD5, TSS, ammonia, and fecal coliform to twice per week, and reduce instream monitoring to once per week. These requests are addressed below in this fact sheet. Facility Background: The Facility was initially permitted to JPS Auto Products, a textile facility. The Town of Cramerton purchased the Facility in 1999. In 2011 the Town of Cramerton and the City of Gastonia merged their utility systems. The Eagle Road WWTP continues to operate as a secondary treatment plant with chemical phosphorus removal with aluminum chlorohydrate. Since the last permit renewal, the aeration basin curtain was replaced. 2. Receiving Waterbody Information: Table 2.

(2002 — 2016) Page 2 of 19 This Facility is subject to 1995 Lake Wylie's total maximum daily load (TMDL), a nutrient control management strategy for the Lake Wylie watershed. The TMDL strategy included requirements for facilities to meet stringent nutrient removal goals. Long Creek WWTP undertook significant improvements to meet the nutrient limits. The receiving stream, South Fork Catawba River, was recently listed in the NC 2020 303(d) list for turbidity (50 Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU), AL, FW miles). This stream is located from a point 0.4 mile upstream of Long Creek to Cramerton Dam and Lake Wylie at Upper Armstrong Bridge. The Division expects that the TSS loading limit for discharges to streams impaired for turbidity should not be allowed to increase. When a TMDL is established, TSS permit loading limits will be revised to be consistent with any waste load allocation. 3.

The compounds in the above table were analyzed in the reasonable potential analysis (RPA) and discussed below in the RPA section of this fact sheet. 4. Instream Data Summary Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example, 1) to verify model predictions when model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/1 of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future total maximum daily load (TMDL); 4) based on other instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained). Instream data summary and instream monitoring proposed for this permit action: The current permit requires instream [upstream (U) and downstream (D)] monitoring for dissolved oxygen, temperature, and hardness at one upstream location and one downstream location. The U location is about 1000 feet above the outfall at Cramerton Bridge on North Main Street. The D location is about 1.5 miles from the outfall at Armstrong Ford Road. The figure below summarizes instream and effluent data from the analyzed period, May 2016 - March 2021. Figure 1. Average, maximum, and minimum instream and effluent data summary 35.0 30.0 25.0 20.0 15.0 10.0 5.0 0.0 Temperature, °C Upstream ■ Average 20.6 • Max 31.7 • Min 1.0 3.0 Effluent 18.0 28.0 Downstream 20.6 31.0 2.0 16.0 14.0 12.0 10.0 8.0 6.0 4.0 2.0 0.0 Upstream ■ Average 8.9 • Max 15.0 ■ Min 6.6 DO, mg/I Effluent Downstream 9.7 14.3 6.1 8.8 14.6 6.5 T-tests were run to analyze relationships between instream sample results. A statistically significant difference is determined when the t-test p-value result is < 0.05. Page 4 of 19 DO: The minimum downstream DO detected was 6.5 mg/1, and the maximum DO differential between the upstream and downstream samples was 2.2 mg/1. Instream DO was consistently above the standard of 5 mg/1 [per 15A NCAC 02B .0211 (6)] at both the upstream and downstream sampling sites throughout the period reviewed. Also, per the t-test was concluded that there is no statistically significant difference between upstream and downstream DO. Temperature: The maximum downstream temperature was 31 degrees Celsius, and the maximum temperature differential between the upstream and downstream samples was 3.3 degrees Celsius on August 3, 2016— this differential was greater than the standard of 2.8 degrees Celsius (15A NCAC 02b .0211 (18)). It was a one-time situation and based on the t-test was concluded that there is no statistically significant difference between the upstream and downstream temperatures. Hardness: Effluent hardness and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are being sampled at a quarterly monitoring frequency following the 2016 Dissolved Metal Standards in order to calculate permit limitations for the seven metals that have hardness -dependent equations (Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Ni, Ag, and Zn). See below the effluent and upstream data summary for hardness data from the analyzed period, May 2016 - March 2021. Figure 2. Average, maximum, and minimum upstream and effluent hardness data summary 60.0 50.0 40.0 30.0 20.0 10.0 0.0 • Upstream • Effluent Average 25.3 42.1 Hardness, mg/I Max 46.0 50.0 Min 16.0 32.0 With this permit renewal package, TRU requested to reduce instream monitoring to once per week; however, per 15A NCAC 02B .0500 upstream and downstream monitoring in Water Quality -limited waters is to be conducted 3/week during June, July, August, and September, and 1/week during the rest of the year, as specified in the current permit. No changes are proposed for instream monitoring frequency. The Division maintains two ambient monitoring stations in the South Fork Catawba River. One station is at SR 7 near McAdenville upstream of Eagle Road WWTP (downstream of the Long Creek WWTP) and the other station is downstream of the Eagle Road WWTP at SR 273. Table 5.

Compliance Summary From June 2016 to April 2021, the Facility received one notice of violation (NOV) for failing to reach the daily minimum (Dmin) for pH on June 23, 2017. The MRO representative, Ori Tuvia, is working with the Facility to monitor the Facility's compliance performance. Summary of the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past 5 years): The Facility passed seventeen of seventeen quarterly chronic toxicity tests from March 2017 to March 2021 and complied with all four 2nd species WET tests (6/2018, 9/2018, 12/2018, and 3/2019). Summary of the results from the most recent compliance inspection: The last facility inspection conducted in February 2020 reported that both secondary clarifiers were operational; however, only one was in operation due to low influent flows. Also, the Region noted that the Facility should continue to investigate a plan to prevent floodwater from the river from backing through the effluent pipe into the chlorine contact basins and potentially the secondary clarifiers at the plant. 6. Water Quality -Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) 6.1 Dilution and Mixing Zones In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206, the following stream flows are used for dilution considerations for development of WQBELs: 1 Q 10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic Life; non -carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH). If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): NA Stream flow values were extracted from the previous Fact sheet (2002-2016). Page 6 of 19 6.2 Oxygen -Consuming Waste Limitations Limitations for oxygen -consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits (e.g., BOD= 30 mg/1 for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and model results. If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: The current permit sets BOD5 MA limit as 10.0 mg/L and the WA limit as 15.0 mg/L. The limits for BOD5 are based on a 1994 QUAL2E modeling for the protection of the DO standard. The minimum DO value from May 2016 through March 2021 was 6.1 mg/1. See the DO effluent data trend from the last year in the figure below. The draft Permit retains the existing BOD5 limits in this permit cycle, and a minimum DO limit is added, 5.0 mg/L —per 15A NCAC 02B .0211(6); class C waters apply to all waters of the State. Figure 3. Effluent dissolved oxygen data summary from 2/2020 — 2/2021. 0 Feb-20 Apr-20 May-20 DO, mg/I 40. es Jul-20 6.3 Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations Sep-20 Oct-20 Dec-20 Feb-21 Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of 1.0 mg/1 (summer) and 1.8 mg/1 (winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria, utilizing a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non -Municipals. Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection of aquatic life (17 ug/1) and capped at 28 ug/1 (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values reported below 50 ug/1 are considered compliant with their permit limit. Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: Ammonia: There are no proposed changes for ammonia. The current permit sets the ammonia MA limit as 4.0 mg/1 and WA limit as 12.0 mg/1 based on a calibrated QUAL2E model in 1994. The limits were not exceeded in the evaluated period, and none of the ammonia results from the evaluated period exceeded 35 mg/1. Page 7 of 19 TRC: The Facility uses chlorination as its primary disinfection. Clarified effluent is disinfected in a chlorine contact basin where a sodium hypochlorite solution is introduced. Sodium bisulfite is used for dechlorination. The current permit limits TRC at 28 ug/L as a daily maximum. Though several reported TRC values exceeded the 28 ug/L daily maximum limit, the Facility is considered compliant with its permit since all reported values were less than 50 ug/L. The maximum TRC value reported was 49 ug/L. The TRC limit has been reviewed in the attached WLA and has been found to be protective. No changes are proposed for TRC. 6.4 Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants The need for toxicant limits is based upon a demonstration of reasonable potential to exceed water quality standards, a statistical evaluation that is conducted during every permit renewal utilizing the most recent effluent data for each outfall. The RPA is conducted in accordance with 40 CFR 122.44 (d) (i). The NC RPA procedure utilizes the following: 1) 95% Confidence Level/95% Probability; 2) assumption of zero background; 3) use of 1/2 detection limit for "less than" values; and 4) stream flows used for dilution consideration based on 15A NCAC 2B.0206. Effective April 6, 2016, NC began implementation of dissolved metals criteria in the RPA process in accordance with guidance titled NPDES Implementation of Instream Dissolved Metals Standards, dated June 10, 2016. The RPAs were conducted for permitted flows of 4.0 MGD with a 7Q10S of 125 cubic feet per second (cfs) and specific hardness values. The answers below are based on the RPA. RPAs were conducted on effluent toxicant data collected in the Permittee's 2016 to 2018 effluent pollutant scans and DMRs. Pollutants of concern included toxicants with positive detections and associated water quality standards/criteria. The data set was limited for arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium total, copper, cyanide, lead, mercury, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, silver, and zinc. Based on this analysis, the following permitting actions are proposed for this permit: • Effluent Limit with Monitoring. The following parameters will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL) since they demonstrated a reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria: NA • Monitoring Only. The following parameters will receive a monitor -only requirement since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, but the maximum predicted concentration was >50% of the allowable concentration: NA • No Limit or Monitoring: The following parameters will not receive a limit or monitoring, since they did not demonstrate reasonable potential to exceed applicable water quality standards/criteria, and the maximum predicted concentration was <50% of the allowable concentration: Arsenic, beryllium, cadmium, chromium, copper, cyanide, lead, molybdenum, nickel, selenium, zinc and total phenolic compounds. These compounds will be monitored in the pretreatment program during this permit cycle: None. Pretreatment program is currently inactive. • POTW Effluent Pollutant Scan Review: Three effluent pollutant scans were evaluated for additional pollutants of concern. o The following parameter(s) will receive a water quality -based effluent limit (WQBEL) with monitoring since as part of a limited data set, two samples exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: NA o The following parameter(s) will receive a monitor -only requirement, since as part of a limited data set, one sample exceeded the allowable discharge concentration: NA RPA results, as well as a copy of the Dissolved Metals Implementation Fact Sheet for freshwater, are included as attachments of this Fact Sheet. Page 8 of 19 6.5 Toxicity Testing Limitations Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging "complex" wastewater (contains anything other than domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several exceptions. The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in NPDES permits, using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test failure. Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: This is a Major Publicly Owned Treatment Work (POTW), and a chronic WET limit will continue to be required on a quarterly frequency at Outfall 001 at 4.7% at 4.0 MGD using Ceriodaphnia dubia. Per 40 CFR 122.21(j)(5)(v), four second species will continue to be required as well. 6.6 Mercury Statewide Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Evaluation There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply with EPA's mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year) and is applicable to municipals and industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point sources (-2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging multiple quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/1) received an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case -by -case basis, depending if mercury is a pollutant of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/1) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/1 A mercury evaluation was conducted in accordance with the Permitting Guidance developed for the implementation of the statewide Mercury TMDL to determine the need for a limit. The Facility implemented an MMP in September 2017. Below find summaries of compliance mercury data from 2017 to 2021. Based on the dataset, the water quality - based effluent limitation (WQBEL) for mercury is 253.9 ng/1, and the technology -based effluent limit (TBEL) is 47 ng/l. Table 7. Mercury Effluent Data Summary and Evaluation 2017 2018 2019 # of Samples 1 1 1 Mercury Annual Average (ng/1) 0.5 1.6 1.2 Mercury Annual Max (ng/1) 0.50 1.62 1.16 TBEL, ng/L 47 WQBEL, ng/L 253.9 Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: Mercury evaluation results used 1631E. No annual average mercury concentration exceeded the WQBEL, and no individual mercury sample exceeded the TBEL. The maximum value reported in this period was 1.62 ng/1. No mercury limit is required, and the mercury minimization plan (MMP) will continue to be required in this permit cycle because multiple quantifiable levels of mercury were >1 ng/1. Page 9 of 19 6.7 Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within this permit: Lake Wylie TMDL The Facility is subject to the Lake Wylie Nutrient TMDL and Management Strategy, which addresses eutrophic conditions and chlorophyll -a water quality violations in the North Carolina portion of Lake Wylie and its tributaries. The TMDL was developed in 1995 and approved by the EPA in 1998. The Strategy set TN and TP load allocations for the lake and each major tributary. It then set individual mass load allocations (and the equivalent concentrations) for existing large WWTPs and provided a process to allow for new/expanding discharges. In the year 2000, the Division included permit limits of 6.0 mg/L (summer only) for Total Nitrogen (TN) and 1.0 mg/L (year-round) for Total Phosphorus (TP) in the affected permits. Technology -based TN and TP allowances for the existing industries (Clariant Corporation, NC0004375; Pharr Yarns, NC0004812; and Kings Mountain Venture #1, NC0005274) were set based on BAT determinations prepared by each Facility. (For the purposes of the following explanation, "allocation" means a water -quality -based cap on the amount of nutrients that a permittee can potentially discharge, as established in a TMDL, applicable rule, or other mechanism. On the other hand, "allowance" means a technology -based cap, such as through a BAT determination.) In 2013, Clariant sold most of its TN and TP allocations to the City of Charlotte for a planned wastewater facility. Subsequently, other permittees expressed interest in transferring allocations ("trading"). In order to be transferred between facilities, allocations must be expressed as mass loads. In response to the increased interest, the Division calculated the mass load allocations for the facilities subject to the TMDL. In addition to the TMDL's summer limits for TN and year-round limits for TP, it established new winter allocations and limits for TN, equivalent to 12 mg/L TN. The Division now implements nutrient controls in Lake Wylie using the following approach: • The distribution of nutrient allocations — and any transfer of allocations — must be consistent with the approved Lake Wylie TMDL. a. The point source allocations assigned in the TMDL to the lake and its tributaries are valid only in the original study area and cannot be transferred outside that area except through modification of the TMDL and the approval of EPA Region 4. b. Similarly, the tributary allocations identified in the TMDL are only valid within the assigned subwatersheds and cannot be transferred elsewhere without EPA approval. • Within each subwatershed, transfers and other changes in allocations cannot result in exceedance of the tributary allocations in the TMDL. If additional industrial facilities request allocations based on BAT determinations (none are foreseen at this time), the Division will consider the request with Region 4. • Only those allocations that were identified in the TMDL (WWTPs) and approved allowances (industries with approved BAT determinations) are valid. Facilities within the Lake Wylie study area cannot receive credit for connecting other WWTPs located within or outside of the study area. • No transfer of allocation will be incorporated into NPDES permits until the Division is satisfied that the transfer will not result in localized impacts ("hot spots"). • TN allocations and limits will be implemented as follows: Page 10 of 19 a. Summer mass TN allocations and limits for all affected dischargers will be set based on the summer daily loads in the TMDL; b. Winter allocations and limits will be based on 12 mg/L or other approved BAT determinations; c. Summer and winter mass TN allocations and limits for affected industries will be based on a proportional split of the annual values, that is, 214/365 of the annual allowance for summer and 151/365 for winter. • TP allocations and limits will be implemented as annual mass values based on daily loads specified on the TMDL or an approved BAT determination. Applicable Nutrient Limits; Performance. In its 2013 renewal application, Gastonia requested "bubble" limits for TN and TP for its Long Creek facility (NC0020184) and its Eagle Road WWTP (NC0006033). The revised limits were included when the permits were renewed in 2017. In both permits, per the Permittee's request, the monthly average TP limit of 1.0 mg/L was replaced with an annual TP Load limit, and summer and winter TN Load limits (lb/season) were added. With the 2017 permit renewal, Gastonia requested to add the loads from the following decommissioned facilities: Ranlo, High Shoals, McAdenville, and Pharr Yarns. The towns of Ranlo, High Shoals, and Stanley were connected to the Long Creek Facility but were not included in the TMDL as they were minor facilities. As such, they did not have allocations in the approved TMDL implicit or explicit. The individual allocations and combined limits at Outfall CO1 and the actual discharge loads for 2015-2020 are as follows: Table 8.

In 2017, Pharr Yarns was an industrial facility with a discharge of domestic and industrial wastewater not connected to the Long Creek Facility, discharging directly to the South Fork Catawba River. In January 1, 2021, the Pharr Yarns permit (NC0004812) was rescinded, and with this permit renewal, Gastonia requested the inclusion of Pharr Yarns' nutrient allocation in the permit for the Eagle Road WWTP. The Division is adding the nutrient allocation previously activated for Pharr Yarns (8,031 lb/season (TN Summer); 5,667 lb/season (TN Winter); and 1,522 lb/season (annual TP)). For the purpose of setting nutrient effluent limitations, the Long Creek and Eagle Road allocations continue to be combined and are being modified to reflect increases in the Eagle Road allocations resulting from its connection with the Pharr Yarns facility. The revised combined allocations and "bubble" limits for Outfall C01 are as follows: Table 9.2021 Nutrient Allocations for Eagle Road WWTP and Long Creek WWTP Permit Facility Total Nitrogen Summer (lb/season) 1,3 Total Nitrogen Winter (lb/season) 1,3 Total Phosphorus Annual (Ib/yr) z,3 NC0020184 Long Creek WWTP 171,337 241,793 48,706 NC0006033 Eagle Road WWTP 42,834 (effective through 60,448 (previously eff. 12,176 (effective through 10/31/2021) through 3/31/2021) 12/31/2021) Combined Load Limitations 214,171 (effective through 302,242 (previously eff. 60,882 (effective through 10/31/2021) through 3/31/2021) 12/31/2021) NC0006033 Eagle Road WWTP4 50,866 (revised eff. 66,115 revised 13,698 (eff. 1/1/2022) 4/1/2022 eff. 11/1/2021) Combined Load Limitations4 222,203 (revised eff. 307,908 revised 62,404 (eff. 1/1/2022) 4/1/2022 eff. 11/1/2021) Footnotes: 1. In accordance with the 1995 Lake Wylie TMDL, summer values apply April 1 - October 31, and winter values apply November 1- March 31. 2. Total Phosphorus values apply for the calendar year; January 1 to December 31. 3. All values are displayed to the nearest pound. The Combined Load Limitations may not equal the apparent sum due to the effects of rounding the individual values. 4. Limitations include the addition of Pharr Yarns allocations (8,031 lb/season (TN Summer); 5,667 lb/season (TN Winter); and 1,5221b/season (annual TP)) Allowances Held in Reserve. On December 27, 2017, the City of Gastonia entered into a contract with Lowell Investments I, LLC (NC0005274; originally owned by Crompton and Knowles, later by Kings Mountain Venture #1) for the purchase of its TN and TP allowances. Per Contract, Lowell Investments, whose permit is now rescinded, sold its nitrogen and phosphorus allowances to the City "for the sole purpose of having the Total Allocation held in reserve under Buyer's NPDES permit," and the City has the exclusive option to activate those allocations for its own discharge in return for a final payment to Lowell Investments. Gastonia can execute its option and acquire the allowances for a period of up to 15 years (with allowable extensions), such as for a Page 13 of 19 future expansion. Until that time, at least, the allocations for the Eagle Road facility are not affected by this transaction. The TMDL does not address transfers ("trades"), and the Strategy is not implemented through rule. However, other nutrient strategies include provisions that are relevant and, in the Division's best professional judgment, can be applied here. For instance, in other river basins or watersheds, facilities cannot purchase allocation to increase their original limits until those facilities are expanded; and, at that time, the increased nutrient load limits (its "active" allocations) cannot exceed the equivalent of the new permitted flow and specified treatment performance standards, given as annual average concentrations. Any allocations in excess of this amount are held in reserve until they are eligible for use. 6.8 Other WQBEL Considerations If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: NA. If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA. If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0107(c) (2) (B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: NA. If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143- 215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B.0226 for this permit renewal: NA 7. Technology -Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs) Municipals (if not applicable, delete and skip to Industrials) Are concentration limits in the permit at least as stringent as secondary treatment requirements (30 mg/1 BOD5/TSS for Monthly Average, and 45 mg/l for BOD5/TSS for Weekly Average). YES If NO, provide a justification for alternative limitations (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA Are 85% removal requirements for BOD5/TSS included in the permit? YES If NO, provide a justification (e.g., waste stabilization pond). NA 8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge) The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation review in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must document an effort to consider non -discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105( c)(2). In all cases, existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is maintained and protected. If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA 9. Antibacksliding Review Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(1) prohibit backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution). Page 14 of 19 Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO. On the expiration of the permit, there were not TP and TN concentration limits in effect. If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA 10. Monitoring Frequency Requirements Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following regulations and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 2B.0500; 2) NPDES Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance, Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best Professional Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not considered effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti -backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies. TRU requested that the required monitoring frequency for total suspended solids (TSS), ammonia, and fecal coliform be kept at twice per week. Upon evaluating the monitoring data, the Facility continued to meet the approval criteria for monitoring reduction for BOD5, TSS, ammonia, and fecal coliform (based on the DWR Guidance Regarding the Reduction of Monitoring Frequencies in NPDES Permits for Exceptionally Performing Facilities); therefore, the Facility's monitoring frequency for BOD5, TSS, ammonia, and fecal coliform will remain as twice per week. For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4. 11. Electronic Reporting Requirements The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective December 21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically. While NPDES regulated facilities would initially be required to submit additional NPDES reports electronically effective December 21, 2020, EPA extended this deadline from December 21, 2020, to December 21, 2025. The current compliance date, effective January 4, 2021, was extended as a final regulation change published in the November 2, 2020, Federal Register. This permit contains the requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements. 12.Summary of Proposed Permitting Actions Table 10.

Fact Sheet Addendum (if applicable) Were there any changes made since the Draft Permit was public noticed (Yes/No): Yes If Yes, list changes and their basis below: • The Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet of the NPDES permit has been updated to reflect the correct size of the following facility components Aeration basin: 6.3 MG; Clarifiers: 690,000 gallons each; Chlorine contact basin: 94,000 gallons. • Part I Section A. (8.) 1 Reporting Requirements of the NPDES permit has been updated to correct language and include the following: "The Permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted monthly electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. The eDMR system may be accessed at: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted, and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative" • The TP concentration limit was removed from the Part I Section A. (1.). • Special Condition A. (7.) was modified to update the specific three years in which the Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2024, 2025, and 2026). Page 18 of 19 15.

June 18, 2020 Mr. Michael Montebello North Carolina Division of Environmental Quality 1650 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 RE: Industrial Waste Survey Summary: 5-Year Report Dear Mr. Montebello: The City of Gastonia Two Rivers Utilities Department (TRU) is required by NPDES Permit Part IV, C, 2 and 15A NCAC 2H .0905 to implement on -going waste survey activities and submit a summary of these activities every 5 years. This report covers these activities for June 2015 to June 2020. TRU uses the following methods to implement survey requirements to identify new and changed users: monthly non-residential sewer connection listings, North Carolina Manufacturers Register, economic development reports and status updates, Planning Commission meeting information, site plan submittals, building permit listings, new business listings in the Gaston Gazette, and customer inquiries. All industrial users identified as a potential source of discharge are evaluated by one or more of the following: phone call, email, site visit, IWS form or permit application. For efficiency, customers are allowed to complete IWS forms, scan and email them directly to Pretreatment Staff. All information is obtained and evaluated to determine whether an SIU or Local Permit is required. On -going efforts since 2015: 2016 — Four industrial users were sent an IWS and evaluated. No permits were necessary. 2017 — No industrial users required an IWS. The Town of Stanley was issued an SIU Permit and IBC Specialties was issued an IU Permit. 2018 — Five industrial users were sent an IWS and evaluated. No permits were necessary. 2019 — Eight industrial users were sent an IWS and evaluated. Pharr was issued an SIU Permit. 2020 — Six industrial users were sent an IWS and evaluated. Permit evaluation is pending on four industrial users. Page 1 of 2 The 2019 North Carolina Manufacturers Register was reviewed and compared to the on -going IWS list. Following this, TRU's IWS list contained 321 IUs for evaluation. All IUs that had not been evaluated since the previous 5-year report, were re-evaluated in May and June of 2020 by one or more of the following methods: checking the status in the billing database to determine a sewer connection, evaluating previous IWS information, phone calls or emails to obtain more information, receiving a new IWS form, or performing a site visit. There were 68 IUs that were found to either no longer be in business or did not have a sewer connection. Staff made calls and emailed questions to 67 lUs that were determined to need further evaluation and requested that 5 IUs re -submit an IWS. Attached is a spreadsheet (See Attachment A) that reflects the activities that have occurred during the current 5-year reporting period of June 2015 through June 2020. As a result of the re-evaluation and site visits, TRU will continue to proceed with permit evaluations for: The Rolling Door Co, Champion Powder Coating, C&R Hard Chrome Services, Inc. and RWM Casters Company. These facilities currently have the potential to be regulated as a CIU under 40 CFR 433 for chemical etching. The volume and concentration are currently being determined. A full permit application was also requested from each industry. The following is information regarding industrial users located within satellite jurisdictions that have a bulk sewer connection with TRU: • City of Bessemer City, City of Belmont, Town of Clover and City of Kings Mountain have approved Pretreatment Programs and provide new IU information to TRU through on -going communications and/or during annual inspections. • The Town of Stanley became a TRU sewer customer in January 2016. A Pretreatment Program for the town is administered by Two Rivers Utilities. In May 2018, the IWS submission for Stanley was received and met the requirements by NC DEQ. • The Towns of Lowell, Ranlo, McAdenville and High Shoals do not have any IUs listed on the 2019 NC Manufacturer's Register or any other IUs that discharge regulated process wastewater. TRU currently has 25 SIUs and 4 local permits (See Attachment B). The following permits were either new, rescinded or had name changes that occurred during the reporting period June 2015-June 2020: 1) Town of Ranlo, Cookson Co., Firestone, and Porters Fabrication permits were rescinded. 2) Town of Stanley, Pharr, and IBC Specialties are all new permits. 3) Colortex USA renamed to Altus Finishing. 4) Chemtura renamed to Lanxess. 5) Portajon of the Piedmont renamed to United Site Services. 6) Earth Farms renamed to Wind River Environmental, LLC dba Stanley Environmental. 7) Wix, Affina Corporation renamed to Mann + Hummel.

Box 1748 Gastonia, NC 28053-1748 irnfoctwionver•utilitie5.com tiversutllities.com RE: Request for Revision to NPDES Permit NC0006033 to Add Supplemental Nutrient Allocation Dear Mr. Templeton: As has previously been discussed, the City of Gastonia requests that NPDES Permit NC0006033 (Eagle Road Wastewater Treatment Plant) be modified to include supplemental nutrient allocation that the City of Gastonia is purchasing from Lowell Investments I, LLC (NPDES Permit NC0005274). The City of Gastonia and Lowell Investments I, LLC have entered into an agreement on December 27, 2017 for the purchase of Lowell Investment I, LLC's total allocation of 144 Ibs/day of total nitrogen and 7.6 Ibs/day of total phosphorus. An executed copy of this agreement is attached. Per earlier discussions, our understanding is that this allocation can be added to permit NC0006033 by listing it in as supplemental allocation. We understand this allocation would not become part of the active allocation until there is an expansion of the flow limit for the facility. Also from our earlier discussions, we understand that this revision will be considered a "Major Permit Modification" and therefore have included a check to NCDEQ for the amount of $1,030.00 to cover this fee. We appreciate DEQ's assistance with this permit request. Please let us know if there is anything additional needed from us to complete this request. Sincerely, Stephanie Scheringer Division Manager Wastewater Treatment cc: Mr. David Shellenbarger, Assistant WWTD Manager Compliance Enclosures: Purchase Contract between City of Gastonia and Lowell Investments I, LLC Check # 134793 to NCDEQ Certified Mail: 7014 0150 0002 0276 0913 os,eI goc'1 STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF GASTON PURCHASE CONTRACT THIS PURCHASE CONTRACT (hereinafter referred to a "Contract"), entered into this 2. 7 +A\ day of Oc,. , 2017, by and between LOWELL INVESTMENTS I, LLC, hereinafter referred to as the "Seller"; and CITY OF GASTONIA, a North Carolina Municipal Corporation, hereinafter referred to as "Buyer"; WITNESSETH: WHEREAS, Seller is the owner of a nutrient discharge allocation under the Lake Wylie TMDL 1995 Catawba River Basin Wide Water Quality Management Plan consisting of 144 lbs/day of Total Nitrogen and 7.6 lbs/day of Total Phosphorus (the "Total Allocation") as evidenced by NPDES Permit #NC0005274; and, WHEREAS, Seller's NPDES Permit is scheduled to be terminated in early 2018; and, WHEREAS, the Total Allocation will be eliminated upon the termination of Seller's NPDES Permit unless the Total Allocation is transferred to another active NPDES Permit; and, WHEREAS, the North Carolina Division of Water Resources of the Department of Environmental Quality has acknowledged that the Total Allocation can be transferred from Seller's NPDES Permit #NC0005274 to be held in reserve for Buyer's NPDES Permit #NC0020184 until such time as the Total Allocation would need to be activated by Buyer in order to accommodate an increase in the nutrient limits currently approved for Buyer's NPDES Permit, as evidenced by a letter from Michael E.

Box 1748 Gastonia, North Carolina 28053-1748 ROY COOPER Governor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secretary LINDA CULPEPPER Interim Director Subject Proposed Transfer of Lowell Investments' Nutrient Allocations Long Creek WWTP NPDFS Permit NC0020184 Gaston County Dear Mr. Shellenbarger: I have reviewed your September 12, 2017, outline of a potential agreement between Two Rivers Utilities (TRU) and Lowell Investments for the transfer of nutrient allocations from the Lowell Investments facility, NC0005274, to your Long Creek WWTP. In accordance with the 1995 Lake Wylie Nutrient TMDL, Lowell Investments holds allocations of 1441b/day of total nitrogen (TN) and 7.6 lb/day of total phosphorus ('1'P). I believe that, in most respects, the outline provides a satisfactory framework for the transfer of - these allocations. The Division of Water Resources could transfer the allocations to your Long Creek facility in accordance with an acceptable sales agreement between the parties. The transfer would be implemented by adding the allocations to the Nutrient Allocations special condition of the Long Creek permit. The allocations would initially be designated as 'reserve' but could be activated in the future to increase the facility's nutrient limits, consistent with the Lake Wylie Nutrient TMDL. Please note that the contract must transfer ownership of the allocations to TRU immediately rather than merely provide an option for their future purchase. Each facility's nutrient allocations are associated with its NPDES permit; thus, upon termination of Lowell Investments' permit (expected in early 2018), any allocations it still holds will be eliminated and no longer available to the company or to Two Rivers. As we discussed, the parties may be able to craft a contract that executes the sale up front but defers payment until TRU needs to apply the allocations. In addition, the proposed 25-year duration of the agreement is excessive, given that significant changes in the I .ake Wylie nutrient strategy could occur in that time. A 10- to 15-year term, with the option to extend in 5-year increments, seems a more reasonable approach.

Feel free to contact me at (919) 804-6402 or mike.templeton@ncdenr.gov if you have any questions. Sincerely, Michael E. Templeton, P.E. Water Quality Engineer Enclosure: Proposed Option for Purchase Structure (TRU) Copies: NPDES Files Central Files eCopies: Tom McKittrick, Lowell Investments I, LLC Wes Bell, Mooresville Regional Office 2 Outline of possible Lowell InvesLinents-Two Rivers Utilities agreement (David Shellenbarger, TRU, 9/12/2017 email to Templeton): Proposed Option for Purchase Structure: 1. The City of Gastonia will agree to pay Lowell Investments $XXXXX for an option to purchase the phosphorus and nitrogen Threshold Management Plan allocation from the site at 1602 N Main Street, Lowell. At any time prior to the expiration of this agreement, the City may purchase this allocation in its entirety for the sum of $XXXXX. 2. Lowell Investments and the City of Gastonia will request to modify their respective NPDES Permits such that 100% of the phosphorus and nitrogen allocation currently in the Lowell permit will be transferred to NPDES Permit NC0020184 for the City of Gastonia's Long Creek WWTP. 3. Until this purchase is completed, Lowell Investments will retain ownership of the nitrogen and phosphorus allocation, but it will be temporarily transferred to the City of Gastonia with an option to purchase and will be listed as Reserved Allocation for the Eagle Road and Long Creek Bubble Limit within NPDES Permit NC0020184. 4. The transaction shall be structured as a purchase option with a term of 25 years. If the option has not been exercised the end of this term, the parties shall agree to negotiate in good faith on a renewal. In the event no renewal agreement can be reached, the City agrees to request removal of the subject reserve allocation from its NPDES permit(s). 5. If the 1995 Lake Wylie Threshold Management Plan is reopened in a manner that does not preserve this reserve allocation, the City of Gastonia is not obligated for any further compensation to Lowell Investments. 6. In the event the City of Gastonia does not utilize the Lowell Investments Allocation, no cost shall be incurred by the City of Gastonia. Obligations of Lowell Investments • Submit to NCDEQ a permit rescission letter requesting the structure outlined above. Obligations of the City of Gastonia • Submit to NCDEQ a permit modification requesting the structure outlined above. • Provide Lowell Investments notification and a report of any activation of the allocation in the permit and any usage of the allocation in any monthly monitoring period • Provide Lowell access to the City of Gastonia discharge data (DMRs) as needed.

Authorized Representative name (Lk.," Signature 4-27-491 Date Form - DMR- PPA-1 Page 3 CITY OF GASTONIA, NORTH CAROLINA TWO RIVERS UTILITIES PHARR YARNS, LLC SANITARY SEWER SERVICE UTILITY AGREEMENT THIS SANLTARY SEWER SERVICE UTILITY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement"), made and entered into the 4hlay of 2013 (the "Effective Date"), by and between the City of Gastonia, a North Carolina municipal corporation, h einafter referred to as "City" or "TRU", and Pharr Yarns, LLC, a North Carolina limited liability company, hereinafter referred to as "Customer" ("City", "TRU" and "Customer" are sometimes hereinafter referred to as "Party" or the "Parties" collectively); WITNESSETH: That in consideration of, and subject to, the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth, the parties covenant and agree as follows: 1. Purchase and Sale. Customer agrees to buy wastewater treatment services from TRU, and TRU agrees to sell wastewater treatment services to Customer on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The wastewater treatment services being sold by TRU shall at all times meet the standards for treatment of wastewater as promulgated pursuant to the terms of the Clean Water Act at 33 USCA Sections 1251 through 1387, all as amended from time to time, which standards have been adopted by the State of North Carolina Department of Health, Environment, and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality, under which standards TRU treats wastewater at its wastewater treatment plants. TRU shall be the sole provider of wastewater treatment services to Customer; provided, however, if TRU fails to provide the Maximum Capacity or Maximum Flow Rate (defined in Section 8 herein), in addition to its other remedies, Customer may contract with another provider or construct its own facilities or otherwise provide cover to address the excess; provided further, if Customer's wastewater'treatment needs exceed the Maximum Capacity or Maximum Flow Rate, Customer may contract with another provider or construct its own facilities or otherwise provide cover to address the excess. 2. Term. (a) This Agreement shall be effective from and after the Effective Date and shall continue and remain in full force and effect for a period of twenty-five (25) years from and after the date upon which wastewater is first treated for Customer pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (the "Commencement Date"). During the ninety (90)-day period beginning on the date twenty-two (22) years from and after the Commencement Date, TRU may give notice to the Customer of its desire to renew this Agreement for another twenty-five (25) year term, and upon the giving of such notice, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith with reference to a renewal of this Agreement based upon the same terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, including the Applicable Rate (defined herein). (b) If for any reason; (i) the infrastructure described in Paragraph 4 is not constructed, (ii) City fails to receive grant funds from the North Carolina Clean Water Management Trust Fund, or (iii) the City fails to receive a loan from the State Revolving Loan fund bearing an interest rate of zero percent (0%), this agreement shall terminate. 3. Contribution by Customer. Within sixty (60) days after the completion and approval of surveys as set forth in subsection 3(e), Customer or one or more of its affiliates shall: (a) Convey to TRU marketable fee simple title to such real property as necessary for the construction of a wastewater treatment pump station to TRU. The real property conveyed shall be of the size and location substantially as shown in Exhibit A which is attached hereto and incorporated by reference. The real property to be conveyed shall not exceed one (1) acre and will be located surrounding the existing wastewater treatment plant operated by the Town of McAdenville. (b) Convey to TRU easements for gravity and force sewer mains, lines and appurtenances over and across the real property shown on Exhibit B which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. The easements to be conveyed shall be substantially in the locations shown on Exhibit B provided however, that should topographical or engineering constraints require the realignment of such easements, the City shall submit a map showing the requested realignment to Customer for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Customer does not respond to such submittal within 15 days, the proposed alignment shall be deemed to be approved. (c) Convey to TRU such temporary slope and construction easements for and during the period of construction as shall be reasonably requested by TRU for the construction of the Project as described in Section 4. Such easements shall expire no later than the date that is (6) months after the Project Completion Date. (d) All permanent easements conveyed pursuant to this paragraph shall be at least thirty (30) feet in width unless TRU determines that some lesser width is appropriate. If two sewer lines must be located within the easement or if the sewer line is installed at a depth of more that twelve (12) feet, Customer shall convey an easement at least forty (40) feet in width. (e) Within six (6) months after the Effective Date, TRU shall have completed surveys of all of the areas described in subsections (a), (b) and (c) above and submitted same to Customer for its approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. If Customer does not respond to such submittal within fifteen (15) days, the proposed surveyed locations shall be deemed to be approved. 4. Construction of Additional Facilities. (a) TRU shall design and construct or contract for the design and construction of such sanitary sewer infrastructure as is necessary to convey wastewater from the existing Customer wastewater treatment plant to the existing TRU collection system ("Infrastructure") as shown on the map attached hereto as Exhibit C and incorporated herein by reference, pursuant to this Agreement. Prior to commencing any work on property owned by Customer, TRU shall notify Customer of the identity of all contractors with whom TRU has entered into contracts for completion of the Infrastructure, who will be entering Customer's property and the scope of work to be completed by such contractors. All construction shall be in compliance with applicable federal, state and local statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances. All construction of Infrastructure shall be completed in a good and workmanlike manner consistent with standards for similarly -situated facilities in North Carolina within thirty (30) months of the Effective Date ("Project Completion Date"). (b) Costs associated with the design and initial construction of the Infrastructure shall be the responsibility of TRU; provided, however, that TRU may enter into agreements with third parties concerning the funding of such costs. All contractors hired by TRU to perform work on property owned by Customer shall carry insurance as provided in Section 14 with respect to such construction activities and TRU shall provide certificates of such insurance to Customer. (c) Upon completion, the Infrastructure located from the connection point with TRU's existing collection system up to and including the manifold point, as shown on Exhibit C, shall belong to TRU and become a part of its wastewater collection and treatment system. Upon completion, TRU shall have completed as -built plans showing the actual location of all portions of the Infrastructure, and TRU will provide a copy of such as -built plans to Customer. The remainder of the Infrastructure shall belong to Customer and shall be maintained and operated by Customer. (d) As soon as possible after the Commencement Date but in no event more than three months after the Commencement Date, TRU shall commence repair of any damages and restore Customer's property in a good and workmanlike manner so that the disturbed areas are substantially in the same condition existing prior to commencement of work. Such repair and restoration work shall be completed by the earlier of 6 months after the Commencement Date or the Project Completion Date. (e) Prior to construction of the metering point, TRU shall submit a representation of the proposed exterior appearance of said metering point to Customer for Customer's approval. If Customer does not respond to such submittal within fifteen (15) days, the proposed exterior appearance shall be deemed to be approved. 5. Decommissioning of Existing Plant. (a) TRU shall contract for the decommissioning and demolition of Customer's existing wastewater treatment plant, consisting of basins, buildings and associated equipment ("Plant") as shown on Exhibit D which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference, and pay any costs associated therewith except as hereinafter provided. TRU shall be responsible for all costs related to the disposal of materials resulting from the decommissioning and demolition provided that such materials can be disposed of by land application or in a lined landfill. To the extent that any materials require disposal in any other manner, including without limitation, a hazardous waste landfill, Customer shall reimburse TRU for all costs related to such disposal in excess of the costs TRU would have incurred had the materials been disposed of by land application or in a lined landfill. (b) Any contract entered into by TRU for the demolition of the basins shall provide that basin concrete shall be demolished and removed to a point three feet below pre -demolition grade and openings shall be placed at the bottom of each basin to provide for groundwater control. Remaining concrete shall be allowed to remain place. TRU shall provide and place sufficient clean fill on the Plant site to bring the property up to proper grade as set forth in subsection 5(c) but shall not be responsible for the compaction of such fill. Customer shall contract for the placement and compaction of the fill to the level that Customer deems appropriate. Customer hereby releases and holds TRU, its officers, employees, and agents harmless from against any and all liability, actions, debts, claims, and demands of every kind whatsoever, specifically including any claim for negligence or negligent acts or omissions, arising from or related to the portions of the concrete basins allowed to remain in place and the manner and level of compaction of fill as described herein. (c) All decommissioning and demolition work shall be performed in a good and workmanlike manner by licensed and qualified contractors in compliance with applicable federal, state and local statutes, rules, regulations and ordinances. All decommissioning and demolition work shall be commenced not later than three (3) months after the Commencement Date and be completed by the Project Completion Date. Upon completion of the decommissioning and demolition, the grade level of the property shall reflect the most efficient grading necessary to drain the site. (d) Any equipment located in the Plant shall be disposed of by TRU or TRU's contractor as part of the demolition and decommissioning. Customer shall be responsible for removing all other equipment located outside of the Plant. (e) TRU shall submit an invoice, including supporting documentation, to Customer for any costs for which Customer is responsible, which shall be due and payable within 30 days after submission. 6. Operation of System. TRU shall operate and maintain its wastewater collection and treatment system consistent with all state and federal laws and in as efficient a manner as possible consistent with standards generally observed in North Carolina by operators of similarly -situated facilities. TRU shall remedy any failures in said system with all possible dispatch. In the event of an extended inability to furnish sewage treatment services at the volumes set out herein, the services to Customer shall be maintained in the same proportion of the total services remaining after the reduction that it was entitled to before such reduction. 7 Price of Wastewater Treatment. TRU will bill and Customer will pay to TRU, on a monthly basis for all metered wastewater discharged to TRU's wastewater system from Customer, an amount equal to the prevailing rate for nonresidential customers inside the City as set forth on the then -current published Water and Sewer Rate Schedule, and such schedule is revised and published from time to time by TRU (hereinafter, the "Applicable Rate"). Monthly billing shall be defined as TRU's ongoing billing cycle for the area in which the meter involved is located. 8. Maximum Capacity and Maximum Flow Rate. TRU shall provide capacity for Customer to have a maximum monthly wastewater flow of 15,000,000 gallons per month (the "Maximum Capacity"). Wastewater flows shall not exceed a maximum instantaneous flow of 1,215 gallons per minute (the "Maximum Flow Rate"). The Maximum Capacity may be reviewed from time to time during the term of this Agreement and may be revised through written amendment to the Agreement. In the event Customer exceeds the Maximum Capacity, TRU shall have the right to increase the rate charged to Customer for the amount of wastewater treated which exceeds the Maximum Capacity, said charge not to exceed 1.9 times the then -current Applicable Rate. 9. Minimum Wastewater Flow Limit. (a) Except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section, TRU shall bill Customer for treatment of a minimum amount of wastewater flow of 2,500,000 gallons per month ("Minimum Gal/Month") whether or not such wastewater flow amount is delivered by Customer each month during the term of this Agreement. The Minimum Gal/Month may be reviewed from time to time during the term of this Agreement and may be revised through written amendment to the Agreement as provided for hereinafter. On or before January 30 of each year of the term of this Agreement, TRU shall determine the total amount of wastewater measured by the metering point or points serving both Customer and the Town of McAdenville for each month of the previous calendar year or portion thereof ("Total Cumulative Monthly Flow"). TRU shall provide Customer with an annual report showing the total amount by which the Cumulative Monthly Flow exceeds 3,400,000 gallons ("Excess Monthly Flow"), plus any Excess Monthly Flow remaining from prior years. So long as there is a balance of Excess Monthly Flow, Customer shall only be required to pay for the actual metered wastewater flow rather than the Minimum Gal/Month, provided however, that the balance of Excess Monthly Flow shall be reduced by difference between the actual metered flow and the Minimum Gal/Month for any month that the actual metered flow is less than the Minimum Gal/Month. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed to allow the Customer to pay for less than the actual metered flow. Attached hereto as Exhibit E is an illustration of how the Parties intend the credits to work in practice. (c) If at any time during the term of the Agreement, the Customer and the Town of McAdenville have been billed and paid for wastewater treatment services for a cumulative total of 742,000,000 gallons, Customer shall for the remainder of the term of this Agreement be billed only for the actual amount discharged into TRU's system and shall no longer be subject to the Minimum Gal/Month as set forth in subsection (a) above. (b) 10. Equalization of Wastewater Flow. Customer shall be required to equalize wastewater flows delivered to the TRU's system at a flow rate based upon the wastewater flow limits established in its Significant Industrial User Permit from time to time. 11. Invoicing. Bills for wastewater treatment supplied hereunder shall be rendered and paid monthly. A "month" shall mean the period between any two regular consecutive billing period readings of the meter measuring the quantity of wastewater flow in the TRU's system. 12. Significant Industrial User. Customer shall be, in the same manner as all other significant industrial users of the sanitary sewer system of TRU, subject to all provisions of City's Sewer Use and Industrial Pretreatment Ordinance ("Ordinance") in effect at the time of execution of this Agreement and as they may be amended from time to time. Customer shall administer its own industrial pretreatment program. Notwithstanding its status as a significant industrial user, Customer shall be subject to the Applicable Rate as set forth in Section 7, provided, however, that Customer shall be subject to any surcharges, fees or penalties assessed for violations of or noncompliance with the Ordinance or Customer's significant industrial user permit. 13. Use of Wastewater Treatment Plant Capacity. During the term of this Agreement, TRU will provide to Customer wastewater treatment up to the Maximum Capacity. At such time, however, that Customer utilizes 12,000,000 gallons per month (80% of 15,000,000) of such Maximum Capacity for six consecutive billing periods, TRU and Customer agree to negotiate in good faith a higher Maximum Capacity. In the event TRU must expand its wastewater facilities in order to provide such higher flow limit to Customer, Customer agrees to pay for its proportionate share of the costs of the expansion at the time TRU incurs those costs associated with the expansion necessary to provide such higher flow to Customer. 14. Insurance. During the period beginning on the Effective Date and ending on the Project Completion Date, TRU shall maintain commercial general liability insurance which shall provide coverage for bodily injury and property damage (except automotive equipment) in the following limits of liability: For bodily injury and property damage; $1,000,000.00 each occurrence with an aggregate limit of not less than $3,000,000.00.A11 contractors hired by TRU to perform work on property owned by Customer shall maintain insurance policies, including without limitation, a commercial general liability policy, in such amounts as are generally required by the City of Gastonia for construction projects of a similar size and complexity. TRU shall require any contractor hired to perform work on property owned by Customer to name Customer as an additional insured on the contractor's commercial general liability policy. 15. Force Majeure. In the event either TRU or Customer is unable, in whole or in part, by reason of force majeure to carry out its obligations, other than to make payments for wastewater treatment services received, it is agreed that on giving notice of such force majeure as soon as possible after the occurrence of the cause relied upon, then the obligation of TRU or Customer, so far as each may be affected by such force majeure, shall be suspended from performance hereunder during the continuance of any inability so caused, but for no longer period, and such cause shall as far as possible, be remedied with all due speed.

Pharr has the right to assign the SSSUA to an entity under the same control/ownership as Pharr Yarns so we can't object to the transfer. You will need to let me know what needs to happen to transfer the SIU as requested and I suppose billing should now be made to Selkirk. As soon as I Amy gives me an answer on who they deem to be the owner of the private collection system we will need to verify the state agrees and finish working toward that takeover. Charles L.

It also appears that with the property transfers that line now crosses properties owned by both Selkirk and Belmont Land and Investment. Is that correct? As we work through the transfer of that system we will need to accurately reflect the correct owner and secure the necessary easements from the correct property owners. Charles L.

Charles - If I understand your concern, you want to better understand who the customer is for the SSSUA. Pharr Yarns, LLC has assigned the rights and responsibilities under the SSSUA to Selkirk Realty LLC, an affiliated entity under common control with Pharr Yarns, LLC. IT seems that Selkirk Realty LLC would be the proper entity for billing and permitting. Please let me know if you need further information or wish to discuss further.

If a company simply changes its name then we would simply change the name on the permit. Since Selkirk is technically a separate legal entity it may be more involved than a simple name change. Based on your recent question regarding application of the flow from the private collection system and this name change request I would like to have some clarification. As you and I have discussed, we know the SSSUA between Pharr and Gastonia allows Pharr to assign the agreement to a related entity such as SelKirk. Has that assignment been made in whole or in part? We need to know which entity is our customer under that agreement and the SIU for several reasons. Also, since the SIU permit involves the privately owned collection system, and we have ongoing efforts to take ownership of that system we need to know which entity you now consider to be the owner of that system? Clarification on these points will help us better respond to the changes requested for the SIU, ensure we are billing the correct customer under the SSSUA and properly complete any transfer of the collection system to the City.

Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to Report Spam. Diana, The nutrient loads requested in Eagle Road's permit renewal application were supposed to be based on Pharr Yarn's allocation in NPDES permit NC0004812. The nitrogen was calculated based on 1 MGD flow at 6 mg/L and phosphorus was based on 1 MGD flow at 1 mg/L. However, after getting a copy of Pharr Yarns' permit NC0004812, we see that is not what is permitted for nitrogen. Permit NC0004812 lists a total nitrogen limit of 27,397 Ibs/year and a total phosphorus limit of 3044 Ibs/year. We ask that these amounts be transferred to permit NC0006033 for Eagle Road WWTP. If the total nitrogen quantity needs to be broken down into season, we ask that it be divided proportionately according to days in the season (16,063 Ibs/summer and 11,334 Ibs/winter.) Once again, thank you for your work on this permit. Please reach back out if there is anything else we can provide to you on this or anything else concerning the permit.

Thanks for the clarification on NC0004812-Pharr Yarns' agreement and its connection to TRU's system - no nutrient sales agreement is required. We just noticed we need some clarification on Pharr Yarn's nutrient loads. In the NPDES renewal application, TRU requests that NPDES permit NC0004812's allocation for 50 Ibs/day of TN and 8.3 Ibs/day of TP. We'll appreciate it if you provide the source document or TRU's calculation for this nutrient allocation.

Diana: The agreement is for transfer and treatment of Pharr Yarns/Selkirk Properties' wastewater. We were under the impression that if the wastewater flow from the discharger was transferred and being treated by a utility, and the old discharge permit was rescinded, the nutrient allocation would then be transferrable to the entity treating the wastewater. Accordingly we have not entered into a separate agreement with Pharr/Selkirk concerning the nutrient allocation. If this is not the case and an additional agreement is necessary, please let us know as this will require significant time to get in place.

I just noted that the document does not have an agreement regarding nutrient allocation. If I understood correctly, the attached is an agreement for TRU to sell wastewater treatment services to Pharr Yarns, LLC (now, Selkirk Properties, LLC). The rescinded Pharr Yarns' NPDES permit had a nutrient allocation, and TRU is requesting the nutrient allocation to be added to the Eagle Road WWTP permit (NC0006033). We expect to see a completed agreement between the parties on the nutrient allocation. Mike - please correct me if I am wrong.

Please provide the signed Effluent Pollutant Scans for 2017, 2018, and 2019. Response: Priority pollutant scans were collected in June 2017, September 2018, and March 2019. Copies of the submitted PPA reports are attached. 2. The permit for this facility requires four toxicity tests for a test organism other than Ceriodaphnia. In our database, we have records of three 2nd species tests (9/2018, 12/2018, and 3/2019). Please let me know what you have in your records.

Response: An industrial waste survey was completed in June 2020 for the entire area covered by the City of Gastonia's three wastewater treatment plants. A copy of this survey is attached. It is not easy to tell which WWTP the industries in the IWS discharge to. None of the industrial customers in Two Rivers Utilities' service area discharge into Eagle Road WWTP. One industry in the City of Belmont (Syncot Fibers and Plastics - SIC Code 2299) discharges into Eagle Road. Syncot Fibers and Plastics is regulated through the City of Belmont's pretreatment program and is not permitted as an SIU. 4. If there are additional pollutants with certified methods to be reported, please submit this Chemical Addendum. Response: Information for all pollutants analyzed by certified methods have been reported on eDMRs or PPA forms and summarized in this renewal application.

However, application of the dissolved and hardness -dependent standards requires additional consideration in order to establish the numeric standard for each metal of concern of each individual discharge. The hardness -based standards require some knowledge of the effluent and instream (upstream) hardness and so must be calculated case -by -case for each discharge. Metals limits must be expressed as `total recoverable' metals in accordance with 40 CFR 122.45(c). The discharge -specific standards must be converted to the equivalent total values for use in the RPA calculations. We will generally rely on default translator values developed for each metal (more on that below), but it is also possible to consider case -specific translators developed in accordance with established methodology. RPA Permitting Guidance/WQBELs for Hardness -Dependent Metals - Freshwater The RPA is designed to predict the maximum likely effluent concentrations for each metal of concern, based on recent effluent data, and calculate the allowable effluent concentrations, based on applicable standards and the critical low -flow values for the receiving stream. If the maximum predicted value is greater than the maximum allowed value (chronic or acute), the discharge has reasonable potential to exceed the standard, which warrants a permit limit in most cases. If monitoring for a particular pollutant indicates that the pollutant is not present (i.e. consistently below detection level), then the Division may remove the monitoring requirement in the reissued permit. 1. To perform a RPA on the Freshwater hardness -dependent metals the Permit Writer compiles the following information: • Critical low flow of the receiving stream, 7Q10 (the spreadsheet automatically calculates the 1Q10 using the formula 1Q10 = 0.843 (s7Q10, cfs) 0.993 • Effluent hardness and upstream hardness, site -specific data is preferred • Permitted flow • Receiving stream classification 2. In order to establish the numeric standard for each hardness -dependent metal of concern and for each individual discharge, the Permit Writer must first determine what effluent and instream (upstream) hardness values to use in the equations. The permit writer reviews DMR's, Effluent Pollutant Scans, and Toxicity Test results for any hardness data and contacts the Permittee to see if any additional data is available for instream hardness values, upstream of the discharge. If no hardness data is available, the permit writer may choose to do an initial evaluation using a default hardness of 25 mg/L (CaCO3 or (Ca + Mg)) Minimum and maximum limits on the hardness value used for water quality calculations are 25 mg/L and 400 mg/L, respectively. If the use of a default hardness value results in a hardness -dependent metal showing reasonable potential, the permit writer contacts the Permittee and requests 5 site -specific effluent and upstream hardness samples over a period of one week. The RPA is rerun using the new data. Page 2 of 4 Permit No. NC0006033 The overall hardness value used in the water quality calculations is calculated as follows: Combined Hardness (chronic) = (Permitted Flow, cfs *Avg. Effluent Hardness, mg/L) + (s7Q10, cfs *Avg. Upstream Hardness, mg/L) (Permitted Flow, cfs + s7Q10, cfs) The Combined Hardness for acute is the same but the calculation uses the 1 Q 10 flow. 3. The permit writer converts the numeric standard for each metal of concern to a total recoverable metal, using the EPA Default Partition Coefficients (DPCs) or site -specific translators, if any have been developed using federally approved methodology. EPA default partition coefficients or the "Fraction Dissolved" converts the value for dissolved metal at laboratory conditions to total recoverable metal at in -stream ambient conditions. This factor is calculated using the linear partition coefficients found in The Metals Translator: Guidance for Calculating a Total Recoverable Permit Limit from a Dissolved Criterion (EPA 823-B-96-007, June 1996) and the equation: Cdiss = 1 Ctotal 1 + { [Kpo] [SS('+a>] [10-6] } Where: ss = in -stream suspended solids concentration [mg/1], minimum of 10 mg/L used, and Kpo and a = constants that express the equilibrium relationship between dissolved and adsorbed forms of metals. A list of constants used for each hardness -dependent metal can also be found in the RPA program under a sheet labeled DPCs. 4. The numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the default partition coefficient (or site -specific translator) to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. In some cases, where an EPA default partition coefficient translator does not exist (ie. silver), the dissolved numeric standard for each metal of concern is divided by the EPA conversion factor to obtain a Total Recoverable Metal at ambient conditions. This method presumes that the metal is dissolved to the same extent as it was during EPA's criteria development for metals. For more information on conversion factors see the June, 1996 EPA Translator Guidance Document. 5. The RPA spreadsheet uses a mass balance equation to determine the total allowable concentration (permit limits) for each pollutant using the following equation: Ca = (s7Q10 + Qw) (Cwqs) — (s7Q10) (Cb) Qw Where: Ca = allowable effluent concentration (µg/L or mg/L) Cwqs = NC Water Quality Standard or federal criteria (µg/L or mg/L) Cb = background concentration: assume zero for all toxicants except NH3* (µg/L or mg/L) Qw = permitted effluent flow (cfs, match s7Q10) s7Q 10 = summer low flow used to protect aquatic life from chronic toxicity and human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from noncarcinogens (cfs) * Discussions are on -going with EPA on how best to address background concentrations Flows other than s7Q 10 may be incorporated as applicable: 1 Q 10 = used in the equation to protect aquatic life from acute toxicity Page 3 of 4 Permit No. NC0006033 QA = used in the equation to protect human health through the consumption of water, fish, and shellfish from carcinogens 30Q2 = used in the equation to protect aesthetic quality 6. The permit writer enters the most recent 2-3 years of effluent data for each pollutant of concern. Data entered must have been taken within four and one-half years prior to the date of the permit application (40 CFR 122.21). The RPA spreadsheet estimates the 95th percentile upper concentration of each pollutant. The Predicted Max concentrations are compared to the Total allowable concentrations to determine if a permit limit is necessary. If the predicted max exceeds the acute or chronic Total allowable concentrations, the discharge is considered to show reasonable potential to violate the water quality standard, and a permit limit (Total allowable concentration) is included in the permit in accordance with the U.S. EPA Technical Support Document for Water Quality -Based Toxics Control published in 1991. 7. When appropriate, permit writers develop facility specific compliance schedules in accordance with the EPA Headquarters Memo dated May 10, 2007 from James Hanlon to Alexis Strauss on 40 CFR 122.47 Compliance Schedule Requirements. 8. The Total Chromium NC WQS was removed and replaced with trivalent chromium and hexavalent chromium Water Quality Standards. As a cost savings measure, total chromium data results may be used as a conservative surrogate in cases where there are no analytical results based on chromium III or VI. In these cases, the projected maximum concentration (95th %) for total chromium will be compared against water quality standards for chromium III and chromium VI. 9. Effluent hardness sampling and instream hardness sampling, upstream of the discharge, are inserted into all permits with facilities monitoring for hardness -dependent metals to ensure the accuracy of the permit limits and to build a more robust hardness dataset. 10.

The City of Gastonia (P.O. Box 1748, Gastonia, NC 2B053) has requested renewal of the NPDES Permit N00020184 and NC0006033 for its Waste- water Treatment Plants in Gaston County. These permitted facilities discharges treated domestic and pretreated industrial wastewater to South Fork in the Catawba River Basin. Ammonia, biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, pH, total residual chlorine, total nitrogen, total phosphorous, and total suspended solids are water quality limited parameters in both permits. These discharges may affect future allocations in these segments of the South Fork Catawba River. 6270241 Page 1 of 1 The Division received comments for the Eagle Road WWTP (NC0006033) NPDES Draft Permit Renewal and provides the following responses: Comments from Two Rivers Utilities (TRU): 1. Comment on Total Phosphorous (TP) concentration limit "The draft permit lists a monthly effluent limit for TP of 1.0 mg/L. The fact sheet states that this limit had been in effect and is continuing; however, in the current permit the total phosphorus concentration limit ended on 12/31/2017 (when the mass load limit took effect) and only monitoring and reporting is currently required regarding the total phosphorus concentration. The removal of this limit is also documented in section 6.7 of the permit's Fact Sheet and is consistent with the manner in which the allocations are described as being expressed in this section of the Fact Sheet. The City of Gastonia strongly requests that this monthly average limit be removed and that the phosphorus allocation continues to be expressed solely as a mass load limit." Response: The NPDES permit, effective on April 1, 2017, set up a TP concentration limit to end on December 31, 2017. The TP concentration limit was in effect in previous NPDES permits for this Facility and was removed per TRU's request. Upon reviewing the 1995 Lake Wylie Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) permitting strategy and its recommended monthly average limit of 1.0 mg/I for TP, the Division reviewed the current data projected for the full design flow and has decided not to reinstate the concentration limit. The Lake Wylie permittees have focused on mass limits, which are acceptable under the TMDL. Therefore, the Division has determined to maintain the decision from the previous permit cycle. 2. Comment on Conductivity "Conductivity analysis was added at a daily monitoring frequency for the effluent and at a variable frequency for the instream samples. The rationale for this change is not addressed in the Fact Sheet, and the City of Gastonia requests that the conductivity monitoring requirement for the effluent and instream sampling be removed." Response: The conductivity summary in Section 12 of the fact sheet has been updated to reflect the following: "The Facility has industrial dischargers 15A NCAC 2B.0500." Basis: • The Facility has an inactive pretreatment program with one non -significant industrial customer discharging into Eagle Road WWTP, Syncot Plastic. • Voluntary conductivity sampling results and results of the expanded effluent scan raise concerns about industrial discharges in WWTP. Conductivity is added, and Pretreatment staff will follow up as needed. 3. Comment on Facility components list. "The facility components listed in item 1 on page 2 of the draft permit do not correctly list the size of components at Eagle Road WWTP. The correct sizes are: Aeration basin: 6.3 MG; Clarifiers: 690,000 gallons each; Chlorine contact basin: 94,000 gallons" Response: Thanks for noting this and providing additional information. The NPDES permit has been updated to reflect the size of the components noted above. We took the flow capacity information from the Eagle Road Plant Schematic on Page 36/86 of the application package. Please revise and update as necessary. 4. Comment on Part I Section A. (8.) 1 Reporting Requirements "Section I A. (8.) 1. of this draft permit requires that "Until such time as the state's eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR ..." The City of Gastonia has previously been informed that signed copies of the eDMR are no longer required to be submitted and asks that this section be removed if it is no longer applicable." Response: Thanks for noting this language error; the NPDES permit has been updated to reflect the following: "The Permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application. Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and submitted monthly electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. The eDMR system may be accessed at: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the Facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access, then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted, and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative" 5. Comment on Industrial Activity "Section 1 of the Fact sheet for this permit states that none of the industrial customers in TRU's service area discharge to Eagle Road. While there are no industrial customers in the portion of Gastonia/TRU's collection system that discharge to Eagle Road WWTP, there is one non -significant industrial customer, Syncot Plastics, in the portion of the City of Belmont's collection system that discharges to Eagle Road WWTP." Response: We misunderstood the April 15, 2021, email from TRU, in which David Schellenberger stated, "None of the industrial customers in Two Rivers Utilities' service area discharge into Eagle Road WWTP." Section 1 of the Fact Sheet has been updated as follows: "The pretreatment program has been inactive since 2006. The Facility provided the June 2020 industrial waste survey (IWS) for the entire area covered by the City of Gastonia's three WWTPs. One non -significant industrial user (NSIU) in the City of Belmont (Syncot Fibers and Plastics — SIC Code 2299) discharges into Eagle Road WWTP. Syncot Fibers and Plastics is regulated through the City of Belmont's pretreatment program." 6. Comment on Fact sheet section 12. TN, TP, and conductivity. "Section 12 of the fact sheet for Eagle Road WWTP lists information that is inconsistent with the draft and current permits for the following parameters: Response: a. Conductivity: Monitor and Report is listed under "Current Permit Limits and Monitoring Frequency" for instream samples at a variable frequency, but the current permit does not have an instream conductivity monitoring requirement. b. Total Nitrogen (TN): Under "Proposed Change" a MA limit of 6 mg/L is listed along with comments in "Basis for Condition/Change". This is inconsistent with the current and draft permits. The City of Gastonia asks that "No Changes" be listed for Total Nitrogen. c. In Section 12 of the Fact Sheet for this permit under the parameter for Total Phosphorus, a MA of 1 mg/L is listed for "Current Permit Limits and Monitoring Frequency" but that limit was removed 12/31/2017. Monitor and Report should be listed in that section for Total Phosphorus." a. Instream and effluent Conductivity are listed in the draft permit. The Fact Sheet was adjusted as explained in response to comment 2 above. b. TN concentration limit language was adjusted in the fact sheet. c. The Fact Sheet and NPDES permit were adjusted as explained in response to comment 1 above. Comment from public member, Lisa Stroup: Comment: "Because NPDES Permit NC0020184 and NC0006033 are Wastewater Treatment Plants in Gaston County that discharges treated domestic and pretreated industrial wastewater to South Fork in the Catawba River Basin; and includes Ammonia, biochemical oxygen demand, dissolved oxygen, fecal coliform, pH, total residual chlorine, total nitrogen, total phosphorous, and total suspended solids are water quality limited parameters in both permits. I request that more stringent requirements and testing be implemented to further protect the water quality for citizens of this county and the State of NC. Continuing to implement only a minimum requirement for testing and monitoring and reporting requirements continues to place the public health, safety and welfare and the environment at undue risk because of the cumulative impact of other nearby industrial facilities and wastewater treatment facilities. NC currently has no regulations to avoid contamination and therefore has not adequately provided effective measures to protect nor enhance the water quality of the State of NC water. We can no longer accept the minimum requirements as sufficient protection for the public nor for the environment." Response: Thanks for your comment. We appreciate public input and understand your concerns. We, NCDEQ Municipal Permit Unit, follow and implement the current federal and state regulations to protect surface water quality. We issue permits to dischargers with limitations on wastewater flow and constituents. This process includes determining the quality and quantity of treated wastewater that the receiving stream can assimilate, incorporating input from stream modeling, collaborating with Regional Office staff, and evaluation of the discharger's location. Where appropriate, the NPDES program establishes limits for flow (quantity discharged), conventional pollutants (BOD, pH, TSS, fecal coliform, oil & grease, etc.), toxicants (metals, volatile organics, etc.), and non -conventional pollutants such as ammonia and nutrients. For more information about the NPDES process and links to forms, please visit the NPDES Permitting Process page. Please let us know if you have any questions.
